Locations + vignettes


1) Waldo at the Metro



It is mid-day and the weather is overcast and wet. Waldo hides and waits for you to find him.
The camera will start off with a wide shot of the entrance of the Shady Grove Metro station. The camera will then be walked into the station and tilt and pan around the stat ion for 30" until Waldo is spotted.
The sounds played will be the muffled sound of people in a crowd mixed with cartoonish music.


2) The Mall



The Mall sequence is taking place during the late afternoon, close to Christmas time when many people will be out doing holiday shopping. Waldo will be harder to spot in the location due to the amount of people around as well as all of the colors for Waldo to blend in with.
The camera will be walked from the front of the mall, through the food court and into the main area where the camera will stop and pan around 360 degrees so the user gets a good chance to search for Waldo.
Sounds of a crowd, cash register sounds, and cartoonish music will be added in post production.


3) Grocery Store



The Grocery store segment will be filmed in the evening when patrons are shopping for dinner and there will be a sizable amount of people there. As with the mall, the grocery store will work well because of all the people coupled with the fact that there are so many colors around the store, it will be easy for Waldo to blend in.
The grocery store segment will be filmed by simple walking the camera around the store and shooting up and down the isles. I will not have a tripod, steadycam, or dolly for this shot, so I will have to keep the camera as steady as possible when shooting.
There will be grocery store music, grocery store sounds (cash registers, etc.) and a light track of cartoonish music playing in the background.


4) Bus Stop



The bus stop scene will simply have Waldo standing at a bus stop along with other people waiting for the bus. It will not be hard to spot him.
This segment will be the hardest to shoot because the camera will be in a moving vehicle. The scene will start a quarter mile down the road, and the camera will be panning the landscape around the car, and as the car approaches the bus stop, the camera will pan over to it and focus on Waldo. This will be one of the easier difficulty level segments.


5) 7-11



This segment will involve Waldo being found inside a 7-11 convenient store. He will shown exiting the bathroom in the rear of the store just as the camera has shown the entire store without Waldo in it. He will appear in the last 3 to 4 seconds of the 30 second shot.
The camera will be held at shoulder height and walked around the store until the cue is given and Waldo emerges from the bathroom.
The sounds in the segment will come from muffled voices, cash register noises, the "ding dong" sound that happens when someone enters or exits the store, as well as some light cartoonish music.
